To 'all whom it may concern.'

Beit known that I, CHARLES W. ECKER, a .citizen of the United States, residing at Canton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, as illustrated in F1g. 4. y have invented certain new and useful Im- The vertical rails-2 are formed from a sinprovements .in Metal Window Sash and kgle sheet of metaly bent at the points' 5, 6, 7, Frames; and I do hereby declare that the fol- 8,' 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, -14, andV 15, which bends lowing is a full, clear, and exact description constitute a-sashrail having a closed seated of the same, reference being hadto the angroove to receive the anes of glass 16; but it 1o neXed drawings, making apart of this speciwill be understood-t at the groove for reiication, and to the numerals of referencia ceiving the panes of lass can be varied as to marked thereon, in which-. width, owing to the Iact that the side memu lar to Fig. 1, except it '.paneo to provide for I sents the horizontal rai 4 'l vertical 'rails or bars of the sash-frames lFigure 1 is aside elevation showing two A. placed in proper 'position. i I5 Flg. 2 is an edge view of one of the Windowwindow-sashes sash bars or rails, lshowing the same located in the frame or guide.- F1g. 3 is a view simishows the opposite side of the window-sash proper. Fig. 4 is a frame, also 1 2o.. view showing1 the portions of the sash' and ustrating the= pivotal connecl I tion of the sash 'and the manner of connecting'the stiles to ether. Fig. 5 is a view showlnga ortion o thewindow frame or casing 25 and il ustratingone of the sash-bars tilted.

Fig. 6 is a detached view of oneof the miter l"ends of the sash. Fig. 7 is a view showing al portion of the opposite or connected sash /rail or.bar. 8 1s a view* of the sashframe proper, showin the stile removed and a portion of the sashars broken away.

The present invention has relation to window sash and frame -ormed of metal and 1n vcom'iecting the metal portions of the sash- 3 5 frame portions together, so as to constitute a rectangular structure especially to hold the glass'in proper relative position and the movement Aof the sashframes. l Similar numerals of reference indicate oorresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the accompanying drawings,.1f-repre proper, which 'are connected together .at their ends,'as hereinafter described. Each rail or bar of the vWindow-sash roper is formed of a single piece of meta bent to -form the entire portionyof the sash rails or bars and are so formed-1 that they will properly hold' the panes of glass desired to be connected thereto. The rails or bars 1 and 2 A ]uste Irails should be provided withopen grooves, as illustrated at 18, Flg. 5, b which arrangeor bars, and 2,the

bers 'of the sash-rail can be brought to or from each other, the angled portion 17 bein formed of a width greater than the width o the groove, as illustrated in Figs. 3 and 4. By

-thls arrangement Aa sash-rail can be manufactured with adjustable grooves for the panes of glass,- thereby provlding for various. thicknesses of glass and at the same time leavg the groove in pro er form and-size to fit various-thicknesses o In use the sash-rails should be held a ainst springing after they have been proper y adto receive the/-proper thickness of glass by solder or otherwlse, thereby'prevent'- lng any springin after the panes of glass have been proper y placed in position.

For the purpose of providing ameans for placingthe panesv of glass in position one of the horizontal rails-and vone of the vertlcal ment the panes of glass can e ertended into the space 1.9 and then moved 1n the opposlte direction and properlyr seated in the grooveL op osite from the open` one.N 7

v or the p ose of providing a means for tilting a sasligame, as illustrated in Fig. 3, the ivot-pins 2() are provided, which may be oi) any form suitable for attachment to the fcasing and also'attachment for the wertical 95 I sash-rails `1.

For the purpose of normally holding 'the upper sash-frame in a closed position the pivot-pins or posts should be located slightly above Athe horizontal center or the lower porroo tion ofthe sash-frame should be weighted.

-jz'amatter of mechanical con- I-Iowever, this v4struction onlyfv Y The horizontal sash-rails 1` of the upper sash and the up er of the' lower sash-frame lT05 ded with a single liange'21,

should be provi glass.

into the position illustrated. in Fig. 2. For

the purpose of connecting the vertical andhorizontal rails together at their angles on' either the vertical or horizontal rail, as the case may be, is provided with the groove 22, formed by bending the metal so that the lange 23 can be entered in the groove 22, by which arrangement the two sash-rails will connect together; but in order to ermanently hold the same in pro er relatlve osition rivets or solder shoulld be provi ed by which arrangement a-.strong rectangular frame is roduced.

The stes 24 and 25 are substantially of the form shown n Fig. 4, the stile 24 being vided with the web 26, which web provi es a means for seating the screws 27 so as to properlyconnect the Stiles together after the panes of glass have been-properly seated, by which -arrangementthe panes will be held in proper relation one with the other.

The casing 28 is formed of metal and is formed so as to provide guides' for the vertical movements Vof the sash-frame or for the pivoted frame vto allow said pivoted frame to rock. The stop-anges .29 are provided,.and'

for the purpose of properly bracing -said fianges the connecting member 30 is provided. TheJcasin 29 is so .formed that thechambers .or channe s 31'and 32 will be formed to receive brick or timbers,l as the case may be. It will be understood that the casing 28 should be formed ofstandard size, so that standardsize 4brick can be used. However, this is a mat'- ter-of mechanical formation and does not enter into the detailed formation so far as the invention is concerned.

l. For the purpose of holdingithe ipper win-- I have deiined the device for holding the sashframe in a tilted position as a chain but positions, by which arrangement the lower sash cannot be moved upwardor opened, owing to the fact that the upper lsash-frame is in the same vertical plane. pivoted sash-frame is turned upon its pivotal pins, after which the lower` sash is free to be moved upward any desired distance, it of course being understood that the upward movement will be limited by reason ofthe upper sash-rail of the lower sashframe coming in contact with the inclined under side of the up er sash-frame when said upper sashframe 1s turned at an angle to a vertical line.

Having fully described my invention, what I'claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi 1. A sash-rail for the purpose designed formed of a single piece of metal and provided with a glassereceiving lgroove, said groove ada' ted to be ,adjusted to different widths, and) a portion of the metal located across the groove and formed of -a width greater than thev normal width ofthe groove, substantially as and for, the purpose specified. Y 2. As an improved article of manufacture, a sash-rail formed of a single piece of metal and -provided with an adjustable glassref ceiving groove and means for closing the seat 4of the groove, substantially as andy for the "purpose specified.

Intestimony that I claim the above I have hereunto subscribed my name inthe presence of two Witnesses.
